Dogs and other pets

Many hospitality properties DO NOT ALLOW PETS of any kind.  We respect your love you have for your pet and we ask that when vacationing with us you respect people who do not share the same love for your pet as you do. We kindly ask that pet owners take responsibility for their pet’s behaviour. We have a zero tolerance policy if any of the below are not adhered to and unfortunately you will be asked to leave without refund of vacation cost and deposits held in trust if you don’t follow our pet policies.

We do impose a pet fee for staying at the resort. As a pet owner we hope you see it as a better option than leaving your pet at home or in an expensive kennel.

Your pet must be: leashed at all times, not to be left alone in cottage at any time unless it is crated and does not have a barking issue when alone, kept off beds and furniture at all times. A poop and scoop policy at all times. Pets are not allowed in pool enclosure. Pets are not allowed on the serving deck of the cafe. If your pet barks to the point of disrupting the tranquility of other guests stay it will result in a request to leave resort. Pets that swim in the lake and play in the sand must be washed and shampooed before taking them back inside the cottage. Wet pet smell is impossible to remove in a timely manner and pose major hygiene and cleanliness issues. Even dry pet hair and dirt, if not cleaned, cause many health issues and maintenance issues. As a result a cottage rental with a dog will be held to a higher standard of cleanliness upon check out. The vacuum cleaner, broom and mop must be emptied and cleaned out before check out. A further $200 deposit is required at check in and is fully refunded upon cleanliness approval.

You need to print a copy of the Rental Agreement as listed above, and bring it with you for check-in.

We will go through the agreement together upon your arrival and you will sign it in our presence.
